Watson wrote, “It all started last night when my car was stolen from my home – in a secure underground parking garage with CCTV and a 24 hour security man. Whist I was finally getting to celebrate my birthday at dinner with my friends 🥳 happy birthday to me?”

However, having his car stolen was the last thing the British tennis player needed after failing to qualify for this year’s French Open. She also made a snarky birthday greeting to herself in light of how her birthday celebration went.

Additionally, before the interview came to an end, she mentioned what she would be driving next. She also asked her followers for recommendations on the next vehicle she should buy.
